amounts to 100000, mostly in tbs
shape Of certificates of indebtedness
scrip and notes. OF this amount 81, 900,
900 is said TO have matured on the frs
instant. One Of the parties to the syn
dictate authorized the following state
ment as the outcome of the contract:
The position of the Baltimore & Ohio

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, Sept. 6.-Several
years ago Marshall T. Polk robbed the
state treasury of several hundred thou
sand of dollars. He fed, but was arrest
ed and returned to Nashville. In due
time he was reported to have sickened
and died. Now comes the news that a
prominent gambler of the city of Annis-
ton, Ala, has just returned home from
an extended visit in the city of Mexico,
and while there met Polk on the street
and talked with him. He made further
investigations and found him in business
in that city. The affair has created no
little excitement. The gambler was well
acquainted with Polk while he was treas.
urer of the state.
